Am I the only one that thinks it might not be such a great idea to jump in the water with an electric powertool in your hand?
They say it is waterproof up to 15ft, so what if it slides out of my hand and sinks to the bottom or what about when the powercord gets nicked on a barnacle.
It sure sounds great to have a tool that makes cleaning the bottom easy but not so sure this all that smart.
Anyone have one and or used one?

It's 12 volts.

Yup your right, had not noticed that, that does make it much safer.
Still anyone used one and how well do they work in real live.

The concept is no different than a Sonicare toothbrush or an oscillating (vs. circular or sabre) saw.

I would venture to guess the item itself is not that expensive to manufacture. The cost/difficulty is in waterproofing. IMO, Corded vs. Battery is better from a total time under water perspective.

Even a low potential such as 12 volts will get you real twitchy in salt water. Want to check it out? Touch the two terminals of a 9 volt battery to your tongue. Be careful, it'll really bite.
